Essence Fires Managing Editor Over Right Wing Facebook Postings

Michael Bullerdick was already a controversy, being a white man in charge of a Black woman’s magazine because of his title of managing editor, reports Journal-isms. But he pushed the envelope when he posted right wing political messages on his social media page.

A reader took screen shots of his Facebook page (see below), which read on April 10: “No Voter Fraud, Mr. Attorney General?” touting a video by James O’Keefe, the conservative activist who worked with right-wing trickster Andrew Breitbart. The same day, Bullerdick shared a photo illustration of Al Sharpton headlined, “MSNBC Race Pimp.”
